Effective Inspiration.

Honest John Blank was for several
wears the well-known Governor of a New
England State. Governor John lad a
brother William, perhaps equally honest,
though less we'll known, who was a
sportsman, and somewhat given to the
cheering cup. On one of his shooting
excursions William and boon compan-
ion found that their horse did not trot
quite rapidly enough to correspond with
their exhilaratcd notions of the proper
speed, anal the companion fired n charge
of bird shot into the animal to encourage
him. The horse dashed wildly off, the
buggy rocking, hats and parcels flying in
all directions, and William, ruler OF the
storm, shouted with delight:
"Shoot in ag'in! shoot i'm agin! He
goes adm aD!y."-Editor's Dra9er, in
Harper.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Curing Corn Fodder.

Every one who has raised heavy
piece of fodder corn realizes that it is nc
easy task to cure it SO as to preserve it in
frst-class condition. Probably the safest
method to pursue when aside from pack
ing in silo is to cut it in fair weather,
when free from dew, and lay it in swaths,
keeping the butts of the stalks on line.
and let it remain until thoroughly wilted,
then bind in fair sized bundles and place
in shocks of four and six bundles each.
1t can remain in the field where grown
until cured, then draw near the barn and
place in large shocks, where it can re-,
msin until wanted for feeding. II
moved away in the barn it would be
very likely to mould badly, and perhaps
become unfit for cattle.-Cultirator.

An Afghan Execution.

The Pioneer newspaper gives an ac-
count of the execution of Taimur Shah,
the ring-lcadcr of the recent lIerat
mutiny. Taimur was taken to public
place, and there, after his beard had been
pluckcd out, was stoned to death by the
chief officers of the army, Parwana Khan,
as Kotwal of the city, casting the first
stone. 1t is stated that Taimur, who was
man of exceptionally powerful build,
did not die at once, though stones were
piled upon him in large heap. Two
days later the sentry on duty saw move
mcnt among the stones, and, STOPPING,
he heard Taimur say: "Oh creature
of God, come, kill me, that may be re-
leased from this torment" This being
reported to the Amir, he ordered Taimur
to be killed outright.

How General Grant Met His Wife.

The Confederate General Longstreet
introduced General Grant to Miss Julia
Dent. who is now General Grants widow.
Longstreets mother was a Dent. On
graduating from the military academy
Longstreet was assigned to command,
and was stationed at Jefferson barracks,
below St. Louis. While there he visited
his relatives. the Dents, on the Gravois
road, and when Grant was assigned to
the same regiment with Longstreet the
latter accompanied him on his first visit
to the Dent place, and presented 1.-THE
little man with the big epaulets," as
Grant was sometimes called in those
days, to his future wife.

Tests of Dairy Cows.

At the Ontario (CanadO Agricultural
College grounds ten different breeds Of
cows have been tested as regards the
value of the milk, cream, butter and
cheese made by them. The results of
these experiments have been reported
upon by Prof. Brown, and while these
may not be conclusive they are of gen.
eral interest. According to Prof. Browns
report, the Jersey is far ahead as pro-
ducer of cream or of butter, with Ayrshire
next. The Ayrshire, in the same report,
stands first where the milk is to be sold
or cheese made; the Devons rank next
for the cheese-maker, and the shorthorn
grade comes close after.
In the lists referred to, Prof. Brown
calculates values on a basis of three
fourths of cent per pound for milk,
five cents pound for cream, ten cents
pound for cheese and twenty cents for
butter. The shorthorn, with an average
weight per head of 1870 pounds,
yielded, by his calculation, $40 worth of
milk, from which the cream would have
amounted to only $l1. The cream made
butter to the value of $22, or $50 worth
of cheese could have been made from the
milk. This breed averaged giving
milk no days in the season. The short
horn grade, which averaged in weight
l,450 pounds each, proved better, as they
produced milk 220 days in the season to
the value of $50, but the cream was val
ued at $40 only, and would make but
&1S in butter. though it welded $42
worth of cheese.
The Devons give milk 200 days; its
value was set at $2l; the cream at
$11.25; and they averaged $l9 worth of
butter, or $45 worth of cheese. The
Devons made an everage weight of 1850
pounds each.
The Ayrshires weighed 1000 pounds
each and gave milk 21O days, valued at
$50; the cream was worth *21, and it
made $35 in butter, while the cheese from
the milk was worth $5S.
The Jerseys averaged weight of TAO
pounds per head and gave milk 200 days,
which was valued at $40. The cream
on it was valued at $57. According to
some tests made in which 100 pounds OF
cream made A pounds of butter, the
butter amounted to $SS, without any al
lowance for extra quality of butter.
In drawing conclusions, another point
made for Jersey and Ayrshires was their
light weight, taken in connection with
the fact that a COW requires food very
nearly in proportion to her weight

cooking stove.

ments. Mr.. Ramsey can read print very

You must be good little girl, and always
mind your mother. Never let your excellent
mother feel sorry that she is acquainted with
you. If it hadn't been for her you might
have drowned in a soup plate long ago. And
if you hadn't ever had any mother you
might be a Turkey with the Turkeys. In
fact, my dear Amelia, so conduct yourself
that even on dark and rainy days the bright
sun may shine wherever you are, and that
the stars (which are next to the sun in bright
ness) may never flash so brightly but that you
can always look steadily and hopefully to-
ward them.

A Funnv Case of Absent -Mindedness

At the last session of the German
Reichstag there was curious instance of
Observation-Disclosures. Herr Wichman was
calling the roll of members, when, upon
reading out his own name, he naturally
received no response. He called the
name the second time in louder tone,
and finally roared it out like healthy
lunged bull. At this jnncture his COL
leagues broke out into such hearty laugh
ter that the truth dawned upon him and
hc ioined in the general hilarity.
